God I hate this... I work (as a mechanic) at a tire shop, and it pains me whenever one of the secretaries I employ up front sells a tire that is less than 5 years old. That's O.K. by their standards... It keeps me up at night.

I'd take it back. I'd ask for a newer tire. Be polite and give them time to order a newer tire (a week).

Oldest tire I'd accept is 1 year old MAX, but I work at a tire shop.

EDIT: in their defense it is hard to keep sport tires in new stock. Especially high performance tires because their sales are far and few between. Most sports car owners let their tires rot off and not burn them to nubs as they should.
